We need a generic name for Latter-day Saints. Americans have Joe Citizen, Joe Sixpack, and John Q. Public. The law has given us John Doe and Richard Roe. We’ve already got Peter Priesthood and Molly Mormon, but those are derogatory. Jack Mormon is perfect but taken. The best I could come up with is Moroni Christofferson and DeAnn Daynes, but surely someone can top that.

How about Johnny Utah?
Who has “Jack Mormon”? Do you think they’d negotiate?
We could take “Jill Mormon” and come up with a sharing agreement.
Sally Deseret.
Spencer Smith and Becky Young.
A few suggestions:
Postum Pete / Cathy Costco
Randy Refill-Mug / Betty Bulk-food
Jonny Lingo / Mahana
Brother/Sister of Jared (used in roughly the same way that “Friend of Dorothy” identifies members of a certain other group)
Mahonri Jellobelly
Molly Mormons … especially since “Molly” was the name used by an LDS leftist (the censor bug blocked the other word) organizer who was one of the outsiders who organized against the Somoza government. Gives the term a nice double meaning.
uhhhmm…how about stormin’ mormon?
joe smith
Mo Zion. (Mo for short, from Motown. Jim.F could be the pomo Mo pro.)
But I’d gladly second Postum Pete and Cathy Costco.
When I was at Baylor Law School, the Con Law professor used to use Jack or Molly Mormon as plaintiffs in free exercise clause hypotheticals.
Lucy Dimona Sky.
How about Meredith Mormon?
